Nachos
Aurora C.

Really good service and super fresh and delicious food. We got the nachos, tacos, and chocolate mousse. Loved everything!

Crab Cake

First time there, the doors were open with ceiling fan going. They probably haven't turned the AC on. It was very noisy, most restaurants are, anyway. The food is pretty good but they are no steak house because the steak we ordered wasn't good as expected. They serve the bread in a paper bag which is the first, I say. They have outdoor seating which may be a better choice because it was a bit hot inside.

Love the food. The service. And ambiance of Le Fat Poodle. Expensive but worth it. Give it a go. Have fun

margarita

solid 4 stars. i enjoyed every dish i tried - seems like you cant go wrong with any dish here. very cute ambiance; just didn't love the ice cream sundae dessert. enjoyed my salmon bowl - flavorful, and i ate every bite. also enjoyed the smoked salmon on latkes and steak tacos. cocktails were fine. i'd come back, but don't run back since i don't live in the area. i'm sure i'd be a repeat customer if i lived closer.

Very elegant and cozy restaurant with excellent service. We went in without a reservation, but from the looks of it, I recommend calling and making reservations because it got full quickly. The food was excellent. Our table had multiple plates and they were all good and if high quality and good taste. They also have an outdoor seating area for those good weather days and nights. Overall I recommend this place for any occasion.

Celebrated my mother's Bday here and we had a wonderful time. Excellent service- our waiter was informative and attentive. On a Monday night we thought it was going to be a pretty quiet dining experience. Little did we realize that it was like the Real Housewives of OG. It was GNO central. Nonetheless, as the noise level rose, the service and the quality of food rose as well. Really wonderful dining experience with a great selection of appetizers, specials and entrees.

Fat! Peter and DJ at Le Fat Poodle  in Old Greenwich. DJ's Birthday  today!

DJ and I had a great BDay celebration (for DJ) at Le Fat Poodle. I had the "Marry Me" chicken which was done to perfection the Millionaire Bacon it comes with was amazing (Had to look this up... never heard of that before...). The setting is cozy, casual and upscale and the service was great - they did a little birthday sparkler thing and surprisingly, the response was wonderful, and didn't seem forced or fake from both staff and table neighbors. Really a classy place. Coming back... I just gotta give my wallet a rest... Seriously though, it is worth it - the whole experience.

If Yelp should develop a "Critic's Choice" award when an establishment hits all points and goes above and beyond for service, food and setting in one quickie lunch, Le Fat Poodle earns it from me. We found a parking space in front, there is a back entrance which has a lot. There's a ramp from the front door to the patio, making it very easy for mother to access our table in their attractive, blue and white outdoor area punctuated with hanging ivy foliage wall planters and (real, not plastic) fern containers under a large tent. Attractive, comfortable, clean and beachy. Mother was helped down the ramp by the maître d', and when her napkin was blown off the table our waiter immediately returned with heavier cloth. It's those little moments that keeps my ticker pumping and maintains it's faith in humanity. We ordered the bone marrow with onion jam (which I hadn't seen since Michael Gennaro's, RIP). Two large pieces perfectly cooked with enough toasted bread and jam for both of us, and a salt cellar jogged mother's memory of a recipe she'd brought back from France. "Maybe I'll see if I can find it," she said.* We shared lobster sliders (cute idea, made with lobster chunks and excellent slaw) and a crab cake. The first thing I do with crabcakes is to examine if there is crab (not krab/breadcrumbs, etc.), and this one passed muster to the max. The truffle fries were small and moist on the inside with just the right amount of crunch. You know fries are exceptionally good if ketchup isn't required. Desserts sounded wonderful, and I'll try them once I lose my Covid weight (oh yes, it will happen). The maître d' circled with tea, water or just to see how things were going. Our waiter was attentive and knowledgeable. It's a totally different establishment from my last experience. *If cooking means combining more than 2 ingredients, she doesn't.'

Had brunch here today. I love the decor, the music and the ambiance of this place. Such a good spot in the neighborhood. Most importantly the food and the service won't disappoint you. Great quality French food. I love exploring new places and restaurants, so if you're in the neighborhood check this out.

This was one of the most fun experience I've had in awhile! Got the recommendation from a friend…read morewho said the views and vibes are great. Parking is valet. We loved the location, you can sit outdoors along the river and the environment is just very fun. There are live music playing indoors so if you are more into that that is a fun option too. The staff were really nice, offering us beverages while we were waiting for outdoor seats. The food was amazing. I order foie gras everywhere I go and this place has one of the best foie gras I've ever had and I would come back over and over just for that. That being said, the steak tartare was one of the best too, my husband orders that everywhere he goes and agrees that this is the best he's had. The dessert cheeses were amazing, the frozen yogurt was unique and way better than I expected. Price is obviously on the higher end but given the environment and quality of food it was quite worth it, especially comparing to some other restaurants along the river. We have another reservation this coming week to re-visit and cannot wait!

Very disappointing experience at L'Escale last night. I went with a friend and ordered Kumamoto…read moreoysters that tasted rancid and clearly did not seem fresh. I brought it to the manager's attention who took them off the bill and offered us a crudo which my friend enjoyed. Later that night, I became extremely sick and spent the entire night vomiting. I cannot say with absolute certainty that the oysters caused my illness, but the timing was extremely concerning. Oysters should be fresh and handled with the utmost care, and what I experienced was completely unacceptable. I would strongly recommend that the restaurant take a serious look at the quality, storage, and handling of its oysters. After this experience, I would absolutely not order oysters here again and would have a very hard time recommending this restaurant.

What if a Top 5 CT Pizzeria. Had a Top 5 Cheesesteak? I had heard rumors. And it's true. Grigg…read moreStreet Pizza in Greenwich checks both boxes. Grigg Street is about an hour and a half from me, but I finally made it. The sourdough crust has New York thin crust vibes. But it's good chewy with char like New Haven too. It has good small pepperoni cups. The sausage is made in house with seeds. The sauce is bright and the oregano stands out. The mozzarella is made fresh in house. There's good reason why Guy Fieri has visited, why Grigg Street is on the CT Pizza Trail, and why Grigg Street is on Best CT Lists. I'm still trying to decide where they fall in my Top 5. Grigg Streets' cheesesteak is top tier too. They marinade and thin cut the strip steak in house. It's so tender. The have a multi cheese sauce that's outstanding They make the bread in house. So fresh and loveable. They have pickled long hots. You can't say you've had the best CT cheesesteak. Until you've at least tried Grigg St.'s Go try their pizza and cheesesteaks and see. 5 Stars

This showed up on a list of Top 20 cheesesteaks in the country so I had to try it. Having gone to…read moreschool in Philly, I've had my share of cheesesteaks and this one is right up there with the best of the best. Cheesy steak on a fresh made roll. Definitely need to come back and try their pizza.
